Laroya Nate Bray was 15 and living with her mother and her mother’s fiancé in Los Angeles when she was last seen on March 26, 2003. A 10th grader at Crenshaw High School who was preparing to transfer to Dorsey High, Laroya was described as having brown eyes and braided extensions dyed golden-blonde. She was reportedly standing outside her apartment building near Arlington Avenue and Adams Boulevard that day, wearing a red FUBU shirt or skirt, a white tank top, and gold hoop earrings.

Initial reports suggested she was with an unidentified African-American man, but that lead was later discredited. Her mother’s fiancé told her mother around 5:30 p.m. that he could not locate Laroya, and she still had not returned by the time her mother came home later that night. Law enforcement classified the case as a runaway; it remains unsolved and there have been no confirmed sightings or public updates on her whereabouts.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or who knew Laroya around March 26, 2003, see or hear anything that could help explain what happened that day?
